I have a few questions on computer viruses. My computer is brand new, so I hadn't installed any "anti-virus" software yet.
It has found a lot of viruses, and the only sites that I have visited on this computer are BYC, Gmail, Facebook, and one time YouTube. Could it be from any of those sites?
Also, should I trust the anti-virus software thing called "Mac protection- world's leading virus software" (or something like that)? It wants me to register to get rid of the viruses and have "computer safety"... Should I call the Apple store?
And, one last thing... Some disgusting/disturbing websites keep on randomly popping up on my screen. Anyone had that happen before? It happens every few minutes. Could a certain member of one of the names sites be doing this?
Thanks. Sorry, I haven't had any viruses before.
